Why Water Testing Is Crucial
Water contamination can come from various sources, including natural minerals in the ground, aging pipes, industrial runoff, and chemical treatments. Without regular testing, contaminants may go undetected, posing potential health risks. Testing your water ensures that any harmful substances are identified and managed before they impact your health or damage your home’s plumbing system.
Common Contaminants Detected in Water Testing
Water tests can identify a range of contaminants, each with different implications for health and safety. Here are some common substances that water testing can reveal:
- Lead: Often found in older plumbing systems, lead poses significant health risks, especially for children. Even small amounts can lead to developmental issues, making it essential to address if detected.
- Bacteria and Viruses: Waterborne pathogens, including E. coli and coliform bacteria, can cause severe gastrointestinal illnesses. Testing for bacteria ensures your water is safe from potential sources of infection.
- Nitrates and Nitrites: Common in areas with agricultural runoff, these chemicals can affect oxygen levels in the blood and are particularly dangerous for infants and pregnant women.
- Arsenic: A naturally occurring element, arsenic can lead to serious health issues, including cancer, when consumed over long periods.
- Chlorine and Chloramine: Commonly used as disinfectants in municipal water systems, these chemicals can create by-products that impact both health and taste.
- Heavy Metals (Iron, Copper, Zinc): While some metals are safe in small amounts, higher concentrations can be harmful. Excessive levels can damage plumbing, stain fixtures, and affect the taste and smell of water.

Water testing may sound simple, but proper testing requires specialized equipment and expertise. With a professional testing service from Swift Plumbing & Heating, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of what’s in your water, and you’ll also receive actionable advice on how to address any detected contaminants.
